What followed was a war of attrition that lasted for more than ten hours. Every once in a while, Arqiaomu would harass him, slashing twice when he had the chance, and retreating when he didn't. Everyone's nerves were tense, they were sleepy and miserable.
When they were approaching the edge of Wangchuan River, Aqiaomu finally caught the opportunity. He hid in the ruins and suddenly rushed out, killing a deserting commando. For a time, people were panicked. Not only is the combat effectiveness reduced, but new corpses have to be transported. Chen Xing bit the bullet and said a few words of encouragement, but with little effect, and morale continued to decline.
The team members were silent, sometimes looking at each other with unclear meanings in their eyes. Chen Xing could tell that they were communicating with their eyes. Faced with a certain death situation, even the regular army would be shaken, let alone these rabble-rousers.
The situation was bad enough. The team could collapse at any time, but misfortunes never come singly. As soon as they walked out of Wangchuan and entered the wasteland, they saw a figure walking towards them.
The opponent's route was straight and there was no avoidance at all. Again, the one who comes is not good, and the one who is good never comes. At about the same time, Aqiaomu appeared from behind, staring eagerly. Chen Xing ordered the team to defend on the spot, holding up the big black eagle and aiming at the intruder.
In the six-fold magnified sight, the figure of the visitor gradually became clearer. He was a sturdy black man, carrying a large mountaineering bag half as tall as a man, with a short knife and a dagger at his waist. The figure seems a bit familiar. When Chen Xing took aim, the other party also picked up the telescope and looked here.
After observing each other for a while, the visitor suddenly dropped the telescope, waved to him excitedly, and then ran over, shouting as he ran, but he was too far away to hear the sound.
Chen Xing quickly recognized it, it turned out to be Cassie!
Although he was surprised, he didn't have time to think about it because Arqiao Mu behind him started to move. He quickly turned his gun and ordered an attack. The team members raised their guns and fired. A Qiaomu dodged left and right, her movements extremely fast. Although a small number of bullets hit her body and burst out with dots of blue light, she was not affected much and rushed to the nearby area in a blink of an eye.
The remaining four assault soldiers looked at each other, seeming very hesitant. Two teammates have already died, and no one wants to die. Chen Xing didn't even dare to urge them. In this case, once a conflict arises between the team members and the commander, it will quickly expand until the team falls apart. They could only wait for Aqiaomu to rush over and they were forced to fight back.
Seeing the reactions of the commandos, Aqiaomu curved his lips and showed a cruel smile, as if he was sure of victory.
"Mr Qin, I'm here to help you!"
At the critical moment, Cassie, who had thrown away his backpack, rushed up from behind, pulled out his dagger and dagger, and fought with A Qiaomu.
"Clang clang clang!"
Both of them moved very fast, their figures staggered back and forth, the sound of swords clashing was endless, and dazzling sparks burst out from time to time.
Seeing help rushing out halfway, the morale of the commandos suddenly rebounded and they stepped forward to help. Chen Xing led four shooters around to the side, looking for opportunities to shoot.
Cassie's strength has improved a lot than before, and she seems to be at an elite level. Not only Chen Xing, but also A Qiaomu was surprised.
With the addition of Cassie, the balance of the battle began to tilt. Although Cassie is not Aqiaomu's opponent, he will not lose in a short period of time. He can hold off the opponent and give others time to attack.
Under the siege of everyone, Aqiaomu gradually declined. Every time she had a chance to kill Cassie, she would be interrupted by Chen Xing's bullets, and the places they picked were particularly poisonous. They were all her weaknesses, making her whole body tremble with anger.
"Cassie, why are you helping that villain? He is not a good person."
A Qiaomu has known Cassie longer than Chen Xing, and they communicated frequently when they were in the caravan. They had a bit of a friendship, so he began to persuade him.
"Danny is so good to you, and you kill him, you are the real bad guy." Cassie was unmoved and refused directly.
"Ahhh!" Seeing that there was no chance at all, Aqiaomu screamed unwillingly, like a crazy female animal, looking at Chen Xing with eyes full of hatred, wanting to peel off his skin, beat his tendons, and drink He was bleeding, and finally gritted his teeth and turned around to escape.
Chen Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the cart, and lay with the corpse. After calming down, he asked Cassie why he appeared here.
"It's a long story. Your wife asked me to come. She said you were suffering here and wanted me to come and help." Cassie said with gestures.
"My wife?" Chen Xing didn't react for a moment.
"Either she is your lover, or she is your woman." Cassie said with a shrug.
"You mean Ye Yang Bailiu?" Chen Xing finally woke up.
"Yes, it's Miss Ye, the deputy leader. She also specially found someone to train me, Miss Cai Die, Hua Die. They were so strict that they almost killed me."
"By the way, your wife asked me to bring a lot of good things, and I put them all in the survival shelter No. 27. I asked others, and they said you had a group, and then I went to the stronghold again."
"That big fat man, oh no, his name is Big Cat, Big Cat. He said you come here to find good things, so I came here. I didn't expect to meet you when I first came here. I'm so lucky. Blessed by the God of Light and Blessed by Bodhisattva …”
As usual, Cassie kept talking, becoming less and less focused. Chen Xing had to interrupt him, "What did Miss Ye ask you to bring here?"
"We have everything. You'll know when you go there." Cassie smiled and pretended to be careful.
Anyway, it was useless to know now. Chen Xing did not ask further. He was too tired. With Cassie here, he could sleep well.
"Find a safer place and rest."
After giving the order, Chen Xing leaned his head on the supplies and fell asleep.
Night fell quietly, and there was deathly silence in the wilderness.
In a small circle of tents, a bonfire was lit, smoke rose, and the aroma of rice filled the air. Chen Xing woke up and ate something, then went back to sleep.
The next morning, at dawn, everyone opened their eyes sparsely and dragged their tired footsteps, setting off again towards District 27.
Not long after, it started to snow, falling and falling. Fine snowflakes fell on the gravel-strewn wasteland, making the road ahead more difficult.
At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, in the northern wilderness of the Red Earth Continent, in a rugged mountainous area, a huge creature was crawling slowly in a wide tunnel underground.
Its body shape is like a large oil tanker truck, with thousands of jointed legs protruding from under its fat belly, paddling in the mud and moving its bulky body forward.
Behind the round and swollen tail, there were densely packed ants. They were as big as calves, with teeth and claws, and a terrifying shape.
It is a mutated queen ant that has been entrenched in this area for a long time. Even the larger mountain centipedes dare not easily provoke its underground kingdom.
But today, a group of uninvited guests broke into its territory.
The front of the corridor was dark and empty, but it knew that the enemy was right ahead.
The next second, a small light spot lit up in the corridor. Immediately afterwards, countless electric arcs were ejected, flying in the corridor, hitting the mud wall, causing sand and earth to splash and crackle.
A huge figure appeared in the dazzling electric arc, two or three times larger than it. It was covered in a thick black carapace, with two huge insect scythes across its chest. The compound eyes hidden in the gaps between the carapace were blooming. The bright green light.
"Chi chi chi!" The ant colony behind them screamed sharply, seeming to be frightened.
Even though a powerful enemy is in front of her, the queen ant does not flinch. She raises her head and lets out a high-pitched neigh to encourage her children.
In its innate group information, standing opposite it is a hundred-nest ant queen who has lit the spiritual fire, and its strength crushes its existence. But it can't retreat, its kingdom is behind it. If it fails, its children will become slaves.
"grumble!"
It waved its insect sickle and let out a high-pitched war cry. But at this moment, the Queen of Hundreds of Ants, which was several times more powerful than it, emitted uneasy brain waves, seeming to be afraid of it.
Driven by the instinct of preying on the weak, it felt great pleasure. Defeat a powerful enemy, then devour its body, occupy its lair, enslave its tribe, and break through to a higher realm.
The legs under the queen ant danced rapidly, and her huge body gradually accelerated. And its rivals appear to be hesitating. Its speed became faster and faster, and finally it crashed into the car like a high-speed oil tanker.
"Crack!"
A huge crash echoed through the corridor. The queen ant seemed to have hit the mountain wall, broken carapace flying everywhere, and one of the insect sickles also broke.
The opponent's strength was beyond its imagination. Under the full impact, it was itself that was injured. The queen ant screamed in pain and retreated. The other party was exuding panicked brain waves, like a frightened larva, rushing towards him waving an insect sickle at random.
"Uuuuuuuuah, you bad guy, Suna just wants to pass by here..."
The brainwaves contain information that is incomprehensible, at least not to the queen at this stage. Then there was a "click", and its insect body was penetrated by a huge sickle, and the part that penetrated from the abdomen was submerged into the soil, like a knife piercing tofu. The milky white liquid flows out along the sickle and seeps into the soil.
The fire of life of the queen ant gradually extinguished, and the ant colony behind her screamed in pain.
The next moment, white hostile ant colonies surged in like a tide, flooding its nest. Then, its body was torn apart by huge force, divided into pieces by its long pointed legs, and sent into its mouth.
For a moment, serous liquid flew everywhere, and the sound of chewing made one's scalp numb. Until finally, the queen's consciousness gradually disappeared and turned into nothingness.
"Jijiggugu, it's sweet, it's delicious..."
"Why do I think the same kind of food tastes good to me?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, why do I think the same kind of food tastes delicious! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Silent brain waves echoed in the corridor, the walls were desolate, and there was endless loneliness.
